Maclean, John N[orman].
The Esperanza Fire: Arson, Murder and the Agony fo Engine 57
Publisher: Berkeley Counterpoint (2013).
First Edition. Octavo, Hardcover, Black & white photographs, maps, x, 306 pages. Condition: Fine in Fine dust jacket. Jacket in Mylar protector.
The 2006 Esperanza Fire, started by an arsonist in bone-dry wildland-urban interface near Banning, California, killed a five-man engine crew. The firefighters were fatally burned in an "area ignition" which sent the fire racing three-quarters of a mile in about five seconds, overrunning their position before they do anything to protect themselves. The Esperanza Fire marked the first time an entire engine crew was killed by a fire, and the first time an arsonist was successfully prosecuted for murder a setting a wildfire. Maclean's writing holds you spellbound to the end--even though you already know what that end is. Americana
